ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 291 In this 291st issue of the Baba Indaba?s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Egyptian story of ?THE PRINCE AND THE THREE FATES?. A son is born to great Egyptian pharaoh but when the fairies visit to bless this future ruler, they tell the pharaoh ?It is written in the books of fate that he must die, either by a crocodile, or a serpent, or by a dog. If we could save him we would; but that is beyond our power.? So the pharaoh builds a high tower and with a sad heart places his son in the most inaccessible room with round-the-clock guards to protect him. Time passes and the son grows into a fine young man. Straight limbed and handsome. He tells his father, ?I know all about the prophecy that was made at my birth, but I would far rather be killed at once than live an idle, useless life here. So give me arms, and let me go, I pray you; me and my dog too.? Realising the prince is right, with a heavy heart the pharaoh grants his wish and sets his son free. What follows recounts the journeys and adventures of the young prince finding his way in the world. Does the prince survive? Can he overcome and break the curse that is written in the book of fates? Does he fall in love and, does his path cross that of a crocodile, serpent or dog ? or maybe all three?

The Egyptian tales witness to some of the great moments in the history of Egyptian literature and represent the earliest beginnings in world literature. Many literary critics do not seem to know the importance of Egyptian prose tales told for entertainment (including C. S. Lewis, who does not know that the "marvelous that knows itself as myth" was alive and well by 1800 BCE). Unlike some other ancient states, both Israel and Egypt wrote epic tales in prose. And these great prose stories are important for the study of the Hebrew Bible. Some of the most exciting narrative prose parallels to the Hebrew Bible are found in the stories from Egypt. The details may vary, but in the setting, the purpose, the vocabulary, and the genre of the stories, one can find many similarities.
